Morning #Nostr

After seeing the side of the highway coated in white flowers in the morning I went for a wander up to the top of the property in the afternoon and outside the fenceline I found a slew of wildflowers growing. The white I saw along the highway is wild phlox and I also found white shooting stars mixed with purple shooting stars. The region is getting into full bloom now but thankfully my allergies are staying at bay so far.

Mornin #Nostr

That was a long drive yesterday. Left SLC at 8am and after 11 hours of driving we pulled back onto the farm. The truck was quickly emptied of our travel stuff and we were able to relax for the evening. I went on my rounds around the farm and found that I have a bunch of sproiuts popping in the main garden. Makes sense as the seeds have been in for  over 2 weeks now.

Today it is right back to the regular routine.

I grew up at the south entrance so it was always there. Yosemite is the most insane meca for climbing and El Cap is the best wall in the world. I climbed the nose for my first time in 96 and we were the party in front of Erik Weihenmayer, the blind climber. We topped out and there was a news crew there who interviewed us before Erik topped out. Such a wild experience for my first Elcap route. Alex is a psycho but also the least fearful climber in the world and he has been tested to show he has a much lower stress response than most every other human.


Little Cottonwood Canyon, my youngest on the Warm Up / Direct North Face of Shothole bouldering problem. Super cool boulders and I got 3 problems climbed. I felt how utterly weak I am and need to get myself back strong. We will be going back to my bouldering area 3 miles from the farm this summer to work on strength and technique.

I grew up climbing in Yosemite and I knew over a dozen people who have splatted base or wingsuiting. The margins are SOOO fine with that and the survival rate is really low overall. My time now paragliding has mostly killed my desire to jump as the gliding is more my mental statet now. In my youth I would have jumped given the chance but not now. There always seems to be the tendency to push things further and further and I'm kinda happy I'm still feeling fear so I don't get myself in ove my head. We have speed wings that I can go to is I feel the need for speed and proximity flying.


Morning #Nostr

What a killer flight I got at Point Of The Mountain in Utah. It really is one of the best places to fly in the country. It took me a while to get myself in the air but once I did it was glorious. The only reason I landed was my arms were getting real sore. I had to work to get down too but I learned a lot and it was my first time flying amongst so many pilots. There were 50 pilots in the air at one point.

Today we are going up Little Cottonwood canyon for some bouldering then this evening we are seeing Puscifer, A pPerfefct Circle, and Primus for Mayard's 60th birthday tour, Sesenta.

That's been a dream of mine forever, I want to sky dive. But damnit this gliding is as addictive I think. Free flight is a world of its own.


OMG just a simple conversation and I learned so much about paragliding that WILL help me in 2 hrs when I go fly the Point Of the Mountain. Sooo excited and I love Super Fly! Take a wrap on my brakes and let the glider do its thing in lift, don't over react. I am fine being on the light side of my glider and just need more experience with it.

Morning #Nostr

We got in a really nice soak in  before leaving the hot springs yesterday morning. It was nice and quiet with hardly anyone out at 7am. We got a good hour in then had to get on the road. We stopped at our friend's in Pocatello for lunch and a visit then we were on our way to Salt Lake City.

Seriously Air BnB has some really good deals. We have a 3 bedroom place which is hte lower level of a house with pool access for less than hotels cost. For stays of 3 days or more it is really the way to go.

Today we hope to hit up the Harvest Right headquarters, a climbing shop by Little Cottonwood Canyon, then this afternoon I plan to paraglide at the Point of the Moiuntain.

I love the SDR for pulling down the NASA images from the space station. I've been able to get them with my antenna but it works better to use websdr.org so can follow the station around the planet.


The incline is fun. I like up the steps and down the Barr. The trail down resets the hips after all those stairs.

I really do love Fairmont Hot Springs in Montana. This place is killer and the pools aer always super nice to soak in. It is one of the nicer hot springs we have been to, it's kept up well and has a pretty constant flow of people through. We try to stay here most times we are passing by and boy is it worth it. We will get another good soak in this morning before we leave.

Welcome to the new epoch #Nostr

That was an exciting bit of time to watch the insanity of the chain. It's still psycho but tempered a bit. Who would have though that mining would be MORE profitable after the halving but with the fees so high here we are for now.

It wasn't a super busy day around the farm but I did manage to get a few things accomplished. It's now to the point where all the gardens are planted and I am waiting on everything to grow so I have a couple months to do other projects. The hard part is getting myself motivated to do said projects...

Happy Halfling day #Nostr

I had a pretty big grain run that I did yesterday morning then I spread it all out on the hillside where the birds all calmoured around and perused the nibblins. We got a healthy spring storm that rolled through but it only dropped .03" of rain while dropping the temps to the chilly range.  One of our young turkeys is for sure a tom as he was practicing his puffing and strutting which seems a bit ealrier than other turkeys we have raised.

It took me a bit of troubleshooting, many trips back and forth between the coop and the house, multiple boards swaps and code tests, before I finally figured out I had a single lead in the wrong place... DOH! THAT was why the door wouldn't shut. It works like I planned it to now and it shut exactly on time last night.

I have been to town for a big load of grain this morning and will be spreading it around the farm in a while, the birds and animals will be super stoked on it and the birds will likely be wading into it once the door opens at 7.

Hello again #Nostr

Yesterday morning I changed the oil on my truck which it really needed after getting the last seeds in the ground for the year. Mid day I had picked the boys up from school and we were home for about 15 minutes before the BOOM of the car wreck on the highway. I ran out to see the carnage from teh SUV t-boning the pickup truck. They jaws of lifed the driver of the truck out and the woman driving the SUV looked to have whiplash injuries but her 3 year old kid seemed just fine.

After the commotion I got the weedeater tuned up and running then got the few areas cut down around the yard.

A new breed, the Bitcoin Halfling


Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me. https://image.nostr.build/b5731965f417b631e9ea74c27ce4d5f9bb91f9e2a96fefb1547146266ab89fb5.jpg


I grow most everything at 1 foot spacing. My available sunlight is rather limited due to the hill and trees to the south so I have to make every bit of space count. Last year I ended at 5400 lbs harvested from about 1/5 acre in all.


I have them all at 1 ft spacing so need to trim down the branches so they fit better once in full growth. I learned last year that they fill out quite a bit.


I used to grow mostly cherry tomatoes but the damn things were like herpes around the garden and would pop up everywhere. With the greenhouse I wanted paste and slicers that I can train the plants better to single stems.


Morning #Nostr

After my seeds delivered I was out in the garden stuffing them in the soil yesterday morning. All the rows are filled in now save the few spots for the starts I am getting, the earliest I have ever been planted. I'm rather happy to have it all done already and also have sprouts popping. This should prove to be a rather bountiful harvest year.

Another orb rotation #Nostr

Busy day yesterday in which I got the greenhouse cleared and tilled and ready for the seeds that I am getting in the mail today. 6 pounds of greens got harvested which is the earliest I have ever had a harvest. The greenhouse was like a sauna and it was only 70F outside and I had the side rolled up and the ends open... Doing its job quite well.

Today begins a bit of a cool down before it warms back up later in the week. I've got to take advantage of the bit cooler temps to get the grass cut that is growing at warp speed around the farm.

Another spin aroiund the sun #nostr!

The greenhouse has worked out well so far. The cabbage I had planted was a really nice size so they all got moved out into the main garden. I'll take the win as I need it. 11 spots in the row now have a massive head start and will likely be producing a harvestable head in a month. I found that the servo on the coop door opener fried and was the problem so once I unplugged it everything worked again. I got the code working so I don't need the external RTC and now have the wifi pickup the ntp time at startup. Now I jsut have to deal with the light sensor which is reading different.

I not nearly as "maxi" as most here it seems. I have my dirty alts as well as my sats but tend to stack silently. The farm takes enough effort and time and gives me a lot of potential content, I can let everyone else rant and rave about BTC.


Good morning #Nostr

After a bunch of faffing about in the morning yesterday I managed to get the turkeys moved. They have gotten large enough that the little brooder hut was just getting to be too small. The hen and chicks in the pallet hut seemed like they were going to be okay out on their own so I ushered them out and cleaned the hut out. I had to haul 5 wheelbarrows of shit across the farm but did get the hut cleaned nicely. Wood chips then shavings, feed and water, then they all got dropped in.  They were nice and happy and huddled together beneath the light when I went out to close the coop.

Bonjour #Nostr

The top garden got planted yesterday save 3 rows of corn I need seeds for. Later in the day I finished planting the spuds after tilling a section of ground. Over 500 spots planted with taters should net me over a 1000lbs comes harvest time.  Best part is that I plant them then come back and dig them. no daily harvests. The whole point of the garden this year is to vastly limit the amount of daily work I need to do to allow me more chances to do things OFF the farm.

Mine nearly had leaves sprouted on them and easily 18"+. Crazy how much they want to grow. I love the variety and they can grow pretty huge.


There is this constant desire to suck the rich dick by so many peeople in spite of the evidence that they care not one iota for any of the masses. It's like there is the hope that that drip of goo is going to magically make them rich just the same. Idolatry is dusgusting in all forms.


Another rotation of the ball #nostr.

Last rows in the pole garden got seeded then I stuffeed more potatoes into the soil. The main garden got 3 rows of Red Nordland planted and the sprouts were incredible. The reds don't store nearly as well as the yellow do but the sprouts were WAY bigger on them. Thankfully they were all tender enough that I could wrap them up before stuffing them in the soil. I have enough of the red left that I will put them in the upper garden today which will take me to about 460 spots planted. Last year I got 488lbs from 250 spots so this year I hope to get near 1000lbs by harvest.

Thanks to El Nino this is the earliest I have ever gotten seeds in the ground so am rather excited.


Tis morning here again #nostr.

After getting the irrigation lines laid out yesterday morning and the plastic all flaked and weighted down with a plethora of rocks I got to stuffing seeds in the ground. By the end of the day I had 13 rows seeded with only potatoes and 2 seeds left on hand for today. I am awaiting my seed order to get the other rows done.

My tobacco from last year that seeded has volunteered in the greenhouse and I found a bunch of seedlings popped up. I will transplant a bunch of them outside today as I am hoping to naturalize the tobacco on the farm.  I threw seeds EVERYWHERE last year so I really hope to see stands of tobacco around the farm. It is a super good pest repellant so the more the merrier.

I got to see the tip of the eclipse before the clouds moved in... No biggie as we were only at 20% here in the PNW. I did get some peas planted during the eclipse so we'll have to see if they come up shady or not...

This is the first year I have tilled the entire main garden in one day. My tiller is a beast and chewed through the soil this year, way faster than the old tiller could. This is also the earliest I have planted in 14 years of gardening here.  Today the irrigation and plastic get laid out then I can get seeds going in the ground.

Spent yesterday dealing with TMJ pain but managed to get things done despite. The pole garden is all tilled and put together and I got 2 rows of potatoes planted in it, though I may fill the other 3 rows with spuds too but I'm still deciding. I tilled in the main garden and got 3 rows ready and 2 planted. The 3rd row will get fence and peas planted.

Hello again #Nostr

I got the main potato garden planted yesterday after a pre-dawn grain run to town. It rained most of the day but it was a constant drizzle that just made it annoying to work in. By the time I was done I had over 200 spots planted using only the sprouted tendrils and a handful of seed spuds. I still have oodles of taters in the basement that will get us through till I start harvesting.

Today I have to keep tilling and pushing to get the gardens all ready and planted. This is the earliest I have been able to plant except one year in the past decade so I am taking advantage of it.

No it's from small breweries in Spokane. I have 3, well 2 at the moment as one is in transistion between brewers, but I've been getting grain for at least 7 years at this point. I till it into my soil and it does WONDERS for the plants through the season.


200 spots of potatoes are in the lower garden. My back is sore but now most of the sprouted tendrils and all the seed spuds have been  put to good use. I plan 3 rows of the red Nordland in the main garden and now am thinking I will do a couple rows of the yellow in the pole garden as well. This is the earliest I have had potatoes in the ground.

I get spent brewing grain that I spread ALL over my farm and the birds love it. They pile into before I have even finished emptying barrels. Since mine free range they get a good amount of protein from the bugs but I still have some regular layer feed that I give them to augment the grain. The spent grain is great because the sheep and alpaca can eat it without as much bloat problems since the grain has already off-gassed.


GM #Nostr.

After the rains yesterday morning I finally got outside but it was a bit chilly for much of the day. After cleaning in the studio I had to get the potato tendrils gathered and ready to plant. You don't need a whole potato or even a piece of one to grow, all you need is the sprout as it has tons of root nodes on it. In the afternoon I got 2 rows planted, 59 spots, with the sprouts. I still have a ton left, well more than enough to finish the other 3 rows in the garden and still over 150 pounds of potatoes in the basement.

Hola again #Nostr

The chicken coop door works like I intend it to, after a few modifications to the code to get the opening time on the zero minute and not on the one minute. Rather pleased with how it has all turned out and really happy to have that out of my head and into reality after over a decade of it tumbling around the back of my brain.

The main potato garden is now ready to plant and will get packed full over the next days. I plan to expand the potatoes to the other gardens as I have so many still. The red Nordland have some incredibly long tendrils which each can get planted, don't even need to plant a spud.

The code for my coop door opener is in my post if anyone cares.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

The coop door opener works now that I have it on the new Uno R4 WiFi board. Took all morning to get everything ironed outbut I now have a local webpage with the door stats and the timing and lock all seem to be working right. I will be out there at 8 to make sure though. I've only got cosmetic changes to the program to upload today that will add to the webpage.

Some rains today but I have a ton to do. The mud is dry and ready for danding, the garden spots need to be [prepped, last fine tuning on the door opener, Man Utd play today while the PDC is on, I might get more tilling done, and there are plenty of house chores to work on.

Hello again #Nostr

That was an insanely busy day yesterday. From fixing the gate,  to digging and then spreading ashes in the gardens, adding the second coat of mud to the sheetrock, filled hot tub, put up slacklines for the boys, got the irrigation going, moved a freezer, then went on a little hike around the property where I found a bunch of tiny flowers blooming.

The potato garden was where I decided to till and the boys helped clear it of debris first. It is ready for setup and then I will get it filled with potato starts. The Chicken Coop Door Opener is INSTALLED!!! It is needing some fine tuning to make the locking mechanism work right but the door opens and closes exactly like I want it to.  I will get a video made of it in the next day or two.

It's morning again #Nostr.

Since I am awaiting the pulley I wasn't able to get the coop door opener installed yet but I did get the roof extension installed to keep the rain from hitting the opened door. It didn't have to be much but enough length to extend past the end of the door.

The first seeds are in the ground, 3 types of spinach, and I got a couple areas tilled. Today I have to spread the ashes, then the Rootshield, then I can till anywhere that is dry enough. The sooner I get all tilled the sooner I can get everything planted.

This afternoon I will install the coop door opener and this evening should be it's first real test.

Morning #Nostr

We had a nice Easter yesterday with the weather being amazing and the boys got their hunt on mid day. In the morning I checked on the sheetrock mud which was still somewhat damp due to the thickness but I sanded what I could. I'll work on it some more today.

Fencing went up along the trail and I got the small section of the garden ready to be tilled then planted with spinach which I will get to today. The fight continued with the coop door opener but I am now to the point of only needing the pulley to have it working right. The new motor is WAY stronger.

Morning #Nostr

After a bit lighter grain run yesterday morning, which the sheep were super happy to get dumped into their pen, I checked on the sheetrock but the mud was still too wet and needed another night to dry. I'll work on it today and likely get the second coat on. Mid day we went to the ranch were we buy our meat for their opening celebration. We came home with a nice bag of meat to get us through until our half comes in.

Busted out my footbags again and found my technique is still solid. Such a dynamic sport and makes me use most of the muscles in my body. I've got one in my pocket now so I can bust it out anytime I have a few minutes.

Hopefully I get the parts for the coop door sooner than later so I can get it working. SOOO cclose yet soo far away.

Just one servo that lifts and lowers the latch handle. The door is below the opening side of the window so I don't want the door slid up and blocking it. If the door was in the middle of a windowless wall I would do the guillotine.


I have a gate latch that is operated by a servo that locks the door at night.


GM #Nostr

I damn near made it work yesterday but ended up failing to get the coop door opener to work. The problem ended up being that the motor isn't strong enough or getting enough amps to pull the door up. I'm of the mind it is the shitty power supply so today the new one arrives and I will try the small motor again. I mean 5.25 pounds should be enough to pull the door up but the new much bigger NEMA 23 motor will for sure.

In the morning I got a pile of mud on the sheetrock and managed to largely feather the huge transition. I will check on it in a while but I am figuring it will take another day to fully dry with the thickness.  It will get sanded and the final coat applied once it is dry.

That was a serious fight yesterday. The servo just would not work right, the code was saying to go 180 degrees but it would only go to 90. Swapped to a different servo and got it working. Rather pleased with how the lock latch has come out and it will work perfectly to keep the door closed over night.

The insulation and sheetrock are up in hte studio and I have a ton of mudding to do to fill in the cracks and even out the fairly substantial variances. Good thing I have pounds of mud to throw at it today. Thankfully the weather is moving off so I will be able to start tilling soon.

Morning #Nostr world

I spent much of yesterday working on the chicken coop door controls and mounting everything in the case. It took me longest to find parts amongst my many boxes and bins. I had to dink with the code a bit more but it all seems to be working fine now. The fun begins now in how to mount everything on the coop.

After school conferences in the afternoon, where the principal gushed over our boys... we nearly forgot about  the last wrestling practice which also was the team picture. We slid in just in time then slid in just in time to get food on the way home in a torrential down pour for the culmination of our squeaker of a day.

Yesterday morning as I went to let the birds out I heard the eep eep of a chick and found a hen had hatched out a clutch of eggs. Ended up with 7 chicks and the hen in the pallet hut nice and safe. Exactly why I only got turkey chicks this year.

I have the coop door opener code WORKING!!! The servo opens the lock, the motor will open the door and hold it all day until night when it will close again and the servo will close the latch lock. I am super stoked to FINALLY have this going after a decade of it tumbling about the nether regions of my brain.

Hola #nostr

Yesterday was a seemingly nonstop day with 6 trips off the farm, far beyond my norm. I got the spray foam around the new wall section on the studio which should be ready for trimming and sheetrock install now. The greenhouse is plugging along wonderfully and we have baby lettuce and spinach leaves now that are ready to be picked.

I have the motor driver coming today and am positive it will fix my stepper motor issues so I CAN use the Arduino for the coop. I even figured out the lock for when it is closed and using a servo to open it before the door opens. I'm anxious to get it all built out.

Hello again #Nostr

Yesterday I was not feeling it so spent the bulk of the day fighting with the Arduino code that had a few wrong lines in the examples that I had to figure out. FINALLY got them working and picking up a GPS signal so the next step will be trying to get the LoRaWan to work at the same time.

Today is busy with lots of errands and appointments so I won't have much time to work with the #LoRa. I'll be getting spray foam to fill in under the wall where there are rather substantial gaps left.

After the last wrestling tournament of the season, which was pretty tough yesterday, we got home in the afternoon and before dinner I got to pick a very nice modest handful of radishes from the greenhouse. This is the earliest I have ever had a harvest in the garden and though it was meager it was still a harvest. The radishes vanished in an instant as everyone of us loves them. These were SUPER mild and not hot at all and the boys were fighting over them. I love my greenhosue!

Morning #Nostr

After fighting more with the stepper motor in the morning I managed to get the outer wall built on the studio. Rain was to the south so I was a bit pressed to get it up. In the end I got it weather resistant enough for the rains that are falling now. There is a good bit of gap filling to do but at least it isn't just a gaping hole in the wall now.

Last wrestling tournament today and it is a smaller one which has been great prior years. The season has been a bit off but he has had more fun at practices than at the tournaments anyway.

Came out great! Likely much more needed on your house than my studio as we have gas heat so I am able to fully remove it without worry. Really amazing to me that the Romans made mortar that has lasted thousands of years yet this 60 year old mortar is trash.


BN #Nostr

With the rain in the forecast I HAD to get out and work on the studio before it hits. The gaping hole in the wall was only half empty of the bricks and if I wanted to cover the opening I needed it cleared. In the morning I kept at the brick removal and got to the point I was about to pull down the inside, but there was still stuff on the mantle. I managed to remove all the bricks with minimal debris inside. Today I will work on filling the hole in with lumber before weather hits.

I got my stepper motor but am fighting with it and the motor driver. The code is correct but I think I need more voltage to drive the motor as there is a couple volts dropped in the driver H-bridges. I am going to check my tattoo gun power supply and see if it will go over 12 volts as it could be a possible option if it does.

I get my new #LoRa today so am looking forward to getting them going as they have GPS this time.

I spent the first day of Spring inside on the computer building out my chicken coop door opener with my #Arduino Mega. It's a project that I attempted a decade ago but got stymied midway through and tossed on the shelf to sit and collect dust while the idea sloshed around the back of my brain. In a fit of sudden awareness  yesterday I managed to cobble together the setup I had wanted to build so long ago. AND IT WORKS!

I get the stepper motor today and once it is tested I will work to get everything installed. It will open the door  on times for now with the RTC until I can get the light sensor coding to work right as another requirement for the code to run. I'm trying to get the #LoRa to talk to the Arduino so it can message me on opening and closing but it's not seeming to talk yet. I get new LoRa tomorrow that have GPS and are more powerful so I can try then.

Yesterday's predawn grain run was bigger than the prior and it covered the last garden spot on the #farm nicely then the rest of the hill by the road. Mid day I loaded up the trailer with rocks and boulders from the wall I had built over a decade ago. The well over a ton of rocks got moved to the wall I have now built along the road where the rocks are out of the way and building a wall that won't ever have to move.

Have found #Reticulum and #RNode and am diving into them as potential. I also found that the little #LoRa board is NOT meant to be on a large antenna as I bricked one of mine... Back to the #Arduino finally and have some relearning to do as I try to build the coop door opener.

The first predawn grain run of the week yesterday morning was for a lighter load which went to the hillside. Today's goes to the one garden before tilling. Got the irrigation and water feature started up for my client after my chiro appointment. It's good to catch up with him each spring and fall.

Mid day I got the 18650 holders delivered and mounted them to the little #LoRa which are charging pretty well. I got to test them for the first times and the first test was solid half a mile away. On my way back to the house in the evening my #2 pinged my #1 at 2 miles away (line of sight). That was with #1 sitting next to my computer in the house. Pretty excited to play with these a lot more and get one solar powered and mounted on top of the upper property for MUCH better signal distance potential (90 feet elevation difference).

Another busy day yesterday in the gorgeous spring weather. After the miracle Man Utd win I got some tasks done around the house before fixing more of the potholes in the road. It's a constant battle to keep them filled in. The greenhouse has to get opened up in the day to keep it from getting to hot now that the sun is out more.

I spent time in the afternoon tearing down part of the chimney on the studio. Talk about some worthless mortar, the stuff has degraded to dust now and it was built in the 1950s. I get some really nice fire bricks out of the mess and a pile of red brick to use elsewhere.

The new soldering iron made life much easier getting the headers on my #LoRa so now I can start plugging stuff into them. Tons of ideas have been rumbling around my head as I work with them more.

Morning #Nostr!

Yesterday we actually got a real wrestling tournament to happen at a school more than large enough to accomodate the numbers. He ended up 1-2 for the day but his attitude was great the whole time so in my book the day was still a win.

The greenhouse is now back to summer mode after I pulled the inner plastic when I found the temp was at 110F. The spinach and lettuce were NOT happy but perked up almost instantly when I rolled the side up to exhaust the heat. Soon I will have to move the miner as mid day is getting too hot for it and the nights aren't that cold to need the heat.

The #LoRa devices are pretty slick and I have a ton of ideas rumbling in my head for their uses. I get my new sodlering iron today so I can get the headers on them and start playing with sensors.

Between the screaming bald eagles🦅 and the fog horn great horned owls🦉 making a massive racket yesterday morning at 3:30am I was awake for the day. It helps to be a morning person so I am actually able to function at that time and not just be a zombie. The nice and peaceful calmness of the predawn hours is one off my favorite of the day.

I spent my morning fighting with #linux and the Raspberry pi and e-paper hat trying to get one of the various programs to actually work. Frustrating but a good challenge. I got my #LoRa #mestastic device in the evening and am going to be digging into them in the coming days to learn a lot.

5:30 am yesterday morning the post office called that our #turkey🦃 chicks had arrived and it was not long before they were safely in the house awaiting dawn so I could get them to the brooder. They all look good and healthy and happy to be under the nice warm light of the brooder and they were soon eating away at the feed in the tray.

Dentist then chiro then home made for quite the busy morning. I got my Pi Zero on Pi day and tried to get the e-paper to work all afternoon while the PDC night 7 was on. I'm still fighting with the various btcticker codes I'm finding.

This morning I was awakend at 3:30am to the sound of the Bald Eagles screaming at each other on the hill AND a group of Great Horned Owls that were hooting SUPER loud across the farm at each other. Damn owls are almost like a fog horn they are so loud.

Managed a fairly full day yesterday, especially once the sun was up and had warmed the farm a bit. The greenhouse managed to get pretty hot during the day thanks to the sunshine. I have to adjust it soon to keep it more moderated. Moved some of the fencing around in the yard so the dog can better keep the deer away.

Birthday sushi was delicious and super filling such that we didn't need dinner. Drinks were fine though and we got to go to a place we haven't been to in years, despite it being 2 miles from the farm.

I picked up our turkey chicks this morning and will be soon getting them in the brooder. Quite excited!

The #garlic has ALL popped, in my first attempt at growing it! I am so excited to have over 200 that have come up and will for sure have enough to save to plant again in October for harvest next year. The Inchelium variety is native to 30 miles west of our farm so I KNOW it will grow well here.

Thanks to a bunch of you #nostriches here I ordered my #LoRa set and am looking forward to learning a lot about #meshtastic in the coming weeks. I plan to have our valley covered and connected with it this year. Also ordered a Pi 0 and an E-ink display to make myself a Moscow Time display for my desk and to learn python better.  Finally have a project to make me learn more coding.

I totally borked my first attempt at colloidal silver so will for sure have to be WAY more present on the next batch. Live and learn I guess.

Yesterday was a typical Spring day in the Pacific Northwest with a mix of weather over most of the day. The sunny rains are really cool and just feel like Spring. The brooder hut is almost ready for the turkey🦃 chicks that will be here Friday and I just need to tack the wire across the front.

Am seeing all the talk of #mesh and #LoRa so am digging in to learn more and hopefully get myself so I have a solar powered setup mounted up high on the upper property for longest range possible. It will be a perfect addition to my Ham radio setup and will give me another option for emergency comms and much more.

The day of rain nearly melted the last snow on the farm yesterday and I am super anxious for it to all be gone. The flock and herd are of the same mind as they now have more area to roam and peruse for nibblins. The birds followed the alpaca as she led them all up the hill.

It was an incredible finish to the Belgian darts open🎯 with Luke Littler throwing a perfect 9 dart leg in his win over Rob Cross for his first Euro tour win on his first try. He is the future of the sport for sure.

Morning #Nostr

Yesterday was the biggest shit show of a #wrestling tournament we have experienced so far. What was supposed to be a smooth and easy tournament thanks to the digital bracketing devolved into just throwing kids on the mat hours after the fire marshal essentially shut the event down due to there being about 500 too many people in the gym. Most people just left and those that stayed were forced to deal with chaos. I feel bad for the kids who never got to wrestle.

More #sportsing during the day, Man Utd⚽ managed a win, the Belgian #darts🎯 open had some surprises, then UFC 299🥊 had some killer fights. More sportsing today with the finish of the darts open and the city v Liverpool match.

I so want Chito to win.

He was moving back, off balance,  throwing with power and got the KO. Dude has a big future in the UFC!

My predawn grain run yesterday morning gave me a trailer load that I had to come up with a place to spread.  I'm down to covering random areas of the farm as a means of weed control and as a place to put the grain since the gardens are all double coated now. It also gives the deer munchies that aren't in my gardens.

Not sure who watched the abortion of a boxing fight but that was just silly. Joshua looked pissed that he had to take part in that circus and straight ko'd Francis in a hurry. I'll stick to watching the UFC thank you very much, which 299 is on this afternoon and has a stacked card.

Yesterday morning I stopped and picked up the bird feed for the turkey chicks that will be here next week. I need a couple more bags to make sure I have enough on hand for them and I'm looking forward to getting to hear the gobbles again later this year. The goal will be to butcher  most of them EARLY so the legs don't get too tough but we will keep a couple to get big.

I found something has been eating on the spinach plants in the greenhouse so I grabbed my bag of Diatomaceous earth and blasted the row with it in hopes that it will protect them. I will know better when I go check on things in a while but it should do the trick.

That... that was a lot of shit to shovel. I decided it best to get it done yesterday as the coop had gotten a bit deep and also I have my chiro appointment today that will help the hurt. It took me an hour and a half to fill the bed liner on the trailer to overfilled and then 15 minutes to empty it out. The birds are MUCH happier now and I have the load dumped well away from the house so we aren't accosted with the smell.

Today I pickup the chick starter/grower for the 25 turkeys we are getting next week. I look forward to hearing gobbles🦃 again later this summer.

Good Spring Morning #Nostr!

Glorious sunshine. We have a nice window of cloudless days to get the minimal vitamin D available from teh still low in the sky sun. Yesterday mid day I hiked up the hill to check on a tipped over tree and to scope the upper pen which is melting much faster than by the house. Soon it should be gone, I hope.

I finally broke down and began the repair process on the landing gear for my #airplane.  I have been reticent to attempt the welding but am to the point where I just have to do it. I got the grinding started on the parts and need to finish getting them cleaned up today. Both axles need to be good and straight so the wheels track correctly. It will be  very important that I get the welds correct and the axles true. With them fixed it will be flyable just it won't have the front cowling...

Managed to catch the dip and added more #BTC to my meager stack and will continue to stuff the sats away.

Mornin #Nostr

It was another round of Spring snow yesterday but nicely by the afternoon we had the main part of the storm move off and give us a nice sunny afternoon. Cold as balls this morning but will warm up nicely now with no clouds. The greenhouse is managing these temps like a pro thanks to the S9 hashing away happily and it has made more than half of what it cost already while doubling as a heater.

It's the time of the year where I am anxiously awaiting the real thaw so I can get to working the soil in the gardens in preparation for planting. Feels like I am spinning my wheels sometimes but then I calm down and remember that plants demand patience.

Today is just like any other day to #DCA #BTC

Morning #Nostr!

After the abysmal showing by #ManUtd yesterday morning I cleansed the palate with the UK Open as the sun began to melt the snow around the farm.  We were on track for it to melt off but then got another coating overnight. Soon it should be gone.

I made a new batch of tortillas and these ended up with 2 cups of quinoa flour by mistake. All good though as it just adds more protein to them but it did make the dough react a bit differently than normal. They still came out super tasty though and began to vanish as soon as they were made.  The old saying, "the best compliment to a chef is a clean plate" is fitting to this situation.

It's another morning #Nostr!

We got hit again yesterday, the snow fell heavy and fast in the morning before beginning hte rapid melt midday. It didn't quite all go but much of it and the rest should melt today. The boys had a birthday party midday that they went to for a few hours while I was at home watching the UK darts Open and the Kraken game.

Our evening was spent at another birthday party for twins born on leap day and this was their 13th birthday. Super cool venue and the party was great, the boys ran themselves ragged, and everyone had a great time.

It is for sure Spring now with the weather changing so dramatically during the day. Yesterday morning we got some nice sunshine but by the time evening rolled around we got a solid round of snow that came plowing through the region. It only lasted half an hour and was melted super fast but the snow this morning is a lot more likely to stick around longer, at least until the sun comes up and starts to warm things up.

Today is birthday party day as the boys have one to go to mid day then we all have one in the evening to go to.

Yesterday morning was a massive grain run that tested the capacity of my trailer but managed to just fit, without losing it on the trip home. The even fatter sheep now were super happy that I piled the entire load into their pen and spent the day up to their knees in it munching away. The birds were all massed around the piles each time I looked out the windows of the house all day long.

Between the #Braiins new #LN payments and my chiro appointment it made for a nice mellow morning after the huge amount of work with the grain. The PDC was on midday while I dove into IFS materials then in the evening the Kraken managed a solid win at home.

Good Morning #Nostr

I'm betting this was the last snow yesterday morning since it was super wet and heavy and was gone by the afternoon. This morning it is 40F.

The seedlings in the greenhouse are growing well and the sun and warmer temps are helping get the greenhouse nice and warm in the day. The S9 is keeping the base temp well above freezing  and I saw it got up to 90F when it was sunny.

The trailer got hooked up for the grain run I have done this morning which ended up massive at 10 barrels, and now I have now idea where I will dump all the grain at...

Good Morning #Nostr

Our neurotic weather continued with a nice and sunny morning yesterday which meant I was able to go get a #paragliding flight in. It was a short flight and really low to the ground the whole time but it was a safe take off and a safe landing, which is the most important parts.

Mid day I popped open the beehive that is vacant of #bees but still held a pile of honeycomb with #honey. It was built above the main frames so for the next batch of bees I needed to remove it. It is pounds of comb and honey that I have in the house now and will be working to separate it.

Of course as we went to bed it snowed last night but this morning there is just an inch and the temps are well above freezing so it should be gone pretty quick today.

Good Morning #Nostr

The signs of Spring are here and the weather yesterday was very Spring like. Styro-snow is not generally a mid-winter type of snowfall. The afternoon saw a bunch of cells come through that dropped wave after wave on the farm.

The tiller got a new nice and strong belt installed to get it ready for the workout it will be seeing soon. Once the ground has dried a bit more I will be able to put it to work. I spent some time in the afternoon on the upper property pulling dead trees out of the ground, but there is still a lot more to do.

This morning I am going to go #paragliding since the winds will be mellow enough before they kick back into gear this afternoon.

What looked to be a solid rain storm yesterday turned into just a wind storm since it stayed to the south of us all day. The winds got stronger over the day and were the strongest in the evening after dark. I will see once it's light if we have much damage or debris laying around.

Took advantage of the nice low fees to convert #LN to #BTC and will keep my eyes open for other such times to keep the trickle going.

The greenhouse is plugging along nicely and the S9 is keeping it adequately warm, between 40 and 60F with it having spiked to 90F when it wa sunny the other day. I alos found our #chives have popped which is my first real sign of Spring being here.

Back to the normal routine today as we start the week. I'm hoping the winds are mellow tomorrow so I might be able to go get another flight in.

Outstanding day yesterday which started with a run to town for grain before dawn then spread the grain after the disgusting ManUtd match.

Mid day I went north to meet up with our #flying club for a #paragliding day. We have a number of sites around the Chewelah area that we can fly but my favorite is Parker's where we all ended up flying from. It was my first flight since November so I was a bit nervous but more anxious than anything.

The flight was good but a little wild since I couldn't get forward progress, only side slipping the whole way. I was standing on my speed bar but just couldn't get my wing to go, I am on the very light side of the wing's range.  It was incredible that we got all 9 pilots launched and landed safely in the middle of February!

So amazing to get my first flight of the year in today. 9 of us paraglided off Parker's and it felt SOOOO GOOD to be in the air again after 4 months. I can't wait for the next weather window to allow more flight.

Of course #ManUtd blew it! Leave it to them to throw it away in the last minutes.


It's another morning #Nostr.

Yesterday was marred by my jaw pain all day long which made getting anything accomplished a good bit harder. I did manage to finally close up gaps on the kitchen door. It's in the old part of the house (96 years old) so there were some pretty healthy gaps around it. It seats much better and now has the gaps all closed. Only took me 15 years to figure it out...

Later in the day I was able to build the door flaps for the dog door. I had just an old towel tacked up to create the dual flap but it didn't do much to keep cold out. I found a piece of  pond liner rubber sheet and cut stirps which I stapled to a strip of wood then screwed to the wall over the outer opening. It works WAY better and will block the air movement a lot more than the towel did.

My grain run yesterday morning worked out okay with the bed liner on the trailer and it kept the grain nicely contained for the drive home. It was quite easy to empty as well and the still hot grain made its own cloud overhead. I get to skip this morning and will have another load tomorrow morning.

Watched the #PDC🎯 mid day and again MVG won. Someone really needs to slip him some colon blow before the next PL night. Then in the evening watched the Kraken🏒 miraculously  win over the Canucks.

Finally we look to get a couple days of sunshine which I have been seriously looking forward too.

Another rainy day yesterday, as seems to be the regular occurrence this year thanks to senor el nino.  At least the last teensy tiny bits of snow are about melted from our dark pit the house sits in all winter.

The sheep are super happy now that I have the new bale rolled into their pen. It was not easy as the muddy ground made it near impossible to get footing and traction to push the bale along. I eventually got it into place and got the cage up quickly before the sheep could dive into it.

I had a grain run this morning so got the trailer setup in a bit different way in expectation of having more grain than I did, but it worked out and will be the same for the next couple days' grain runs. The one brewery is expanding into Hillyard and likely needs the supply to get them going.

It was another rainy grain run early yesterday morning. I stopped to drop empties at the first brewery and found a half barrel, then 3 1/2 barrels at the Steam Plant. It was a bit annoying as I would have preferred to have just dumped the partial in to the 4 but I didn't want to to drive back to the brewery so I just took it home and dumped it out in the gardens. The brewery has enough barrels so the one isn't a problem. I was able to spread the grain out amongst 3 gardens which finished covering the 2 and about double covered half the pole garden.

In the afternoon I worked around the yard cleaning up after I got the boys' trampoline setup. Now that the snow has about finished for the year I felt fine putting it up. I make sure to take it down each year to save the trampoline fabric from damage. We have had the thing since 2018 and it is still in pretty good condition considering.

Yesterday morning I was in town for my chiro then my dentist appointments, this year is personal care year for me trying to repair the various damage I have done to myself over the years. I got my new front tooth installed so now I am able to properly say my FFFFs.

The big excitement of the day was when the youngest was trying to unlock his brother's bedroom door with this paper clip. As you can see the thing was not straightened out fully so when he stuck it in the knob to unlock the door it got a bit stuck. He pulled on it but the bent side shot right through his finger, in one side and out the other for a nice piercing. He lost his shit! I got him calmed and the clip slipped right out and we got him calmed more and bandaged up. A couple hours later he was back to his normal self.

Yesterday morning it started to snow and round after round of cells passed over and dropped varying amounts. It looks like it will be the last as the rest of the week will be warmer. I'm perfectly okay with that since the sooner it dries out the sooner I am tilling the gardens.

Man Utd⚽ played in the morning and amazingly won, then we watched most of the NHL🏒 stadium series. Mid day we went to have drinks🍻 at Patsy's and met the resident ex-stray cat Michael Meowers who is super chill and loves being in the bar around all the various people. He plopped down on the seat next to me and got comfy.

I grilled steaks for dinner and we are running low on them so will be having to order a quarter side soon. A half would be cheaper but we don't have the freezer space for that much.

That is likely on purpose. Strong men are willing to fight back, feminized men are not.


That'd work easily in the city but rural we have all kinds of high power draw devices. Just one tank heater for the animals uses the same power as my S9.  Everyone just calls them heaters then?


How could they enforce the ban? Seems like trying to put the smoke back in electronics.

Likely some of the last really cold mornings this year. It was 16F before dawn yesterday as I went to get grain. The weather patterns are looking to be warming after today which will be very welcome to get rid of the last snow that is clinging on in the shadowed areas of the farm. The sheep and birds were super happy to have the grain to wade through and glom down.

J made shrimp seviche quesadillas for lunch which he will be entering the recipe in the Young Future Chefs competition at school. With hand made tortillas he will likely be a sure winner. For dinner I grilled bison burgers while we watched UFC 298 which had some solid bouts.

Man Utd ⚽ play soon which I really hope they don't eat their own asses against Luton.

Likely the last of our cold nights are here. Yesterday morning it was 23F but the greenhouse was still at 40F and then mid day it got to 74F once the sun hit it. The bitcoin heater is doing its job wonderfully and this morning it is still above freezing while the temps are about 12F.  Mid day I watered the 3 rows which only needed a single water can.

The fungus and mosses on the trees amaze me how they can so easily handle the sub freezing temps, and look just as good frozen or not.

Who knew Sumo was still a going sport? I happened upon it while waiting for the Spokane Chiefs hockey game to come on. J and I watched the last 15 minutes and it really is a silly sport, but at least the morbidly obese have a sport just for them.

That is one benefit of having so many apps working with Nostr so there can be baby level up to expert level. It would be interesting to have the options to make the various apps open up more functionality or lock it down dependant on the user "ability" or knowledge.


That seems to be a problem in everything, the appeasing the lowest common denominator instead of standing firm and making them learn and improve to use the product. Lazy society.


Ie Lead by example?


Moose are big gangly things with legs way too long for the suasage bodies they have. Their eye sight is super poor but they are good swimmers and can mob through a dense forest with little trouble. Ours here close to the city are small to mid sized but head north 30 miles and they start to get a lot bigger. I 've been out running a couple miles from the farm and run right past moose standing less than 10 feet from me and they hardly react.


That's how long it took our food co-op to become profitable.


She charged at me and I ducked behind a tree then ran and jumped in a skid steer with forks on it and went back in. She charged at the forks and came to fast stop right at the tips. Drove it after her and chased her out of the fence with the baby close behind. I've been close to a bunch of single moose otherwise that were mellow, but that instinct kicked in on her.


You're moose looks nice and content, here is a pissed off moose about to charge. She was not happy with me.

Over 17 weeks they all will likely have bad days to deal with. They also have midweek matches they have to play to keep their tour cards which I'm sure plays into their Thursday performances.


I do but it's just for me. Washington has oodles of pot shops so the market is nil. I probably could if I tried but why when I have enough to last me all year.


Hopefully the Lukes can unseat him from the throne this season. Someone needs to rein in his dominance.

Another day another storm rolled through but this time it dropped a healthy amount of snow on the city. It was above freezing during the day but that didn't stop the snow which mostly fell to the south of us, the city got 3 inches while on the farm we got at most 3/4 inch. The joys of nature's neurosis.

PDC🎯 was on mid day from Glasgow and MVG won the night again which doesn't bode well for the other 7 players. Then the Kraken🏒 whopped Boston in a surprise game that saw them win 4-1. The boys went to the school skating night at the rink for the evening and had a blast after spending all afternoon skating around the house "practicing".

I built mine in 2 days by myself but it is 12x40 so a bit more manageable than a 20ft wide. If you sell the produce you grow you can pay off everything really fast. This first year of my greenhouse produced 250 lbs tomatoes, 71 lbs peppers, 1675 cucumbers, and a couple pounds of tobacco. Most of my cucumbers sold through our co-op for $1/ea which nearly paid for the greenhouse materials. I just put the S9 in but by the halving it will have just made enough to pay for itself.


The hardest part is building the greenhouse. My one S9 is doing a bangup job of keeping mine above 40F while it is 20F outside.

Yesterday morning everything was thick in frost from the fog that had frozen to it. It was 22F at dawn and the greenhouse never got below 40F with the single bitcoin heater running. After getting the boys to school I went to my chiro appointment which helped my neck but aggravated my TMJ. The rest of my day was spent trying to kill the pain that was shooting through my head. It took sleeping overnight to finally get some relief.

The boys made gingersnap cookies which we haven't made in years. They are to die for and so incredibly delicious. I am the type of person who LOVES ginger and our recipe calls for every kind possible, so they get filled. Candied, powdered, and juiced went to these though we had no fresh to add they still came out nice and gingery.

This time of year is great for getting certain things done around the farm since the soil is nice and loose. We have a ton of dead fir tree saplings in the upper property that the sheep have killed over the years. The still wet soil is nice and loose now so I can easily tip the dead over and pile them. It has done wonders to cleanup the various stands and to bring the branch level up over 4 feet off the ground which is perfect for fire danger.

At the rate things are going weather-wise I could be tilling the main garden within a week or two which is weeks earlier than normal. Thank you el nino?

It was a serious downpour of rain yesterday morning as I went to town for grain. On my way home it tried hard to snow and did so closer to dawn which made me very happy to be home as the wrecks then happened around the region.

The furnace exhaust fan arrived and I got it installed to then have to troubleshoot the main blower which decided to stay on. Seems it was the high  limit switch needed cleaning.

No rain today so I can try to accomplish something outside finally.

I've made it another rotation around the sun. After watching Man Utd amazingly win their match we all headed to the north side of town to Frank's Diner for my bday meal out. It was a long wait but the food is worth it and the elk burger was DELICIOUS!

The super bowel lived up to it's name as all in all it was rather shitty. A whole 3 commercials actually stick out in my head and they weren't even all that good. The NFL jumped the shark many years ago and has been floundering since.

I grilled t-bone steaks for dinner which came out delectable from the open fire. Almost forgot to hook the trailer up for my grain run I have done this morning already but remembered as I was going to soak.

Busy day today and it is snowing and raining right now, the weather is so neurotic this year.

It really is amazing the idolatry of the media and popular culture. The insane focus on some random woman is just absurd. "News" channels running headlines about if she would make it to the game? Really? Just disgusting looking at the regime's control. Focus on the idol not on the atrocities.


Everyone should be working towards a Super Bowel

Gee, I wonder if aliens are going to interrupt the election this year? Lots of priming going on...


TWISTERS?! That looks like a really shitty remake of a pretty shitty movie, classic but shitty.


And it costs them oodles to do so. Really wonder how the metrics pan out for the costs/benefits

Lol, the foot fetish crowd just lost their minds!


Llamas are known to be good guard animals. They are also a tasty meat, their poo can be put straight to plants and won't burn them, and their fiber is super warm like alpaca.


I've never dropped before just paragliding and I haven't had to deploy my reserve. This winter has not been very conducive to much flying but now that spring is here I am going to be out as often as I can. We have a number of places around the inland NW to fly but the better ones are to the south of Spokane in the Palouse. This pic is nearing the LZ at Steptoe Butte.

The spring conditions are here and the farm is starting to get green grass showing, which is a month earlier than normal years.  I had hoped to go paragliding yesterday but my neck and the winds wouldn't allow, so the day ended up a movie day.  We started with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure then put on Big Trouble In Little China to continue the 80s movies.

I grilled again for dinner and made Hawaiian burgers that tasted scrumptious. Beefallo burgers with ham and pineapple atop... yum.

We love eggrolls in this house too. Not terribly difficult to make either. We watched a couple movies today for the boys, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure then Big Trouble in Little China. They enjoyed Big Trouble a bit more. We've been on an 80s movies trail recently trying to expose them to classics.


Now I want a Flipper and I don't even really need it. Hitler's nephew is destroying Canada.


Welcome to another morning #Nostr.

The remnants of Winter are lined up in the Pacific and have been streaming rains at us. A cell that came through in the afternoon yesterday dumped a healthy amount of styrosnow but it all melted really fast. At this point there is just a couple dots of snow left on the farm and the soil is almost dried enough to start tilling, many weeks earlier than normal.

I'm hoping to go paragliding today as I haven't flown in months and really want to get back in the air. The winds look good I just am hoping some other club members want to go with since it is more fun to fly with others.

Yep. Ground bison and beef mixed together and pattied then a slice of ham atop each. Thinking of going for the Red Robin stlye burger with an egg on each for tomorrow night.


I know I'm late to the #meat #party that was splashed all across #nostr but this was our beefallo burgers with a slice of ham atop each that I grilled for dinner tonight. Sleep well or Live well depending on your time zone!

Yesterday morning it began to rain yet again and lasted all day. This year it REALLY feels like we live in the PNW with the constant drizzles. Normally we have snow cover for another month at least, but this could mean I will have the garden tilled a month earlier than normal.

The spinach are kicking ass so far and the other seeds are continuing to sprout. The S9 is doing a bangup job of keeping the greenhouse warm enough and it is making just about enough a day to pay for the power.

Today looks like a misc chores day around the farm since it should be mostly clear and lightly warm now that the storms have moved on.

Easy solution to the blinds is just take em down, then no cleaning. We have coverings only on the bedroom windows while the rest of the house is open to the light/dark. It's nice living in the country where our neighbors are on the other side of the creek.

Yesterday morning we woke to our central heat not working which thankfully happened now that it's spring and not when it was -20F. It is just the flue exhaust fan died and thankfully we have the fireplace I was ablbe to get going to keep the house warmed. The new fan won't be here until Monday though so we will be heating by wood until then.

The greenhouse is doing wonderfully with the bitcoinheater hashing away. I was really pleased to see the soil temps at 55F mid day which should do wonders for the seedlings.

Here's to a productive day ahead!
